It's Bernie versus Beto: How are both candidates appealing to a younger generation of voters that's reshaping U.S. politics?

“It’s a crazy time,” said Hoffmann of the wide array of 2020 candidates. “For so long, no one had that excitement in politics except political science majors. Now you have to make a choice. It’s no longer cool to not vote.” Sanders, the oldest candidate in the crowded 2020 field, begins with an enormous edge. He won younger voters by a landslide in the 2016 primaries. In Iowa, the first contest in the race, he won voters younger than 30 by 70 percentage points, entrance polls at the state’s caucus sites found. Overall, Sanders won more than 70% of voters aged 18 to 34, according to a CNN analysis of data from states where exit polls were conducted.

“Bernie definitely does have a very strong base,” said Will Spain, a University of Virginia senior who is organizing students for O’Rourke. “A lot of them are people we’re going to try to sell to. I do think that Beto’s message of positivity and unity … can make a lot of impact on a lot of young voters.’’Who’s running for president and who’s not »

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, a master of Instagram and other social media, talks often about issues such as pot legalization that appeal to the young. New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s campaign has taken her to many college stops.

BETO

Ones really dumb and skateboards. Other than that similar

Because younger voters were raised to be lazy and dependent. They rather vote for a guy promising free shit than a candidate promising more jobs.

Can anyone point out an accomplishment from either one?

Dumb and Dumber

Sanders O'Rourke... Has a nice ring to it.

I wonder if Democratic presidential hopefuls would be interested in highly competitive clean energy 24/7 provided by a US mature start-up located inside the SLSL facility at the Kennedy Space Center?

Young people are more responsive to promises of endless freebies. They must know that these “idealistic reformers” are in fact politicians trying to benefit from empty promises. Nobody supports rapacity but socialism is a disastrous system .

Sanders is easier to write about

Trump does. Everyone loves Trump.

Pete Buttigieg. I think you misspelled the name of the guy who appeals to younger voters. It's spelled : Pete Buttigieg.

Because young people are stupid entitled brats that have been told everything should be free and that rich people are bad.

What policies does Beto support? He’s a great talker, friendly guy, but what does he stand for? As far as Bernie goes, I’m so over him. His taxes are hiding out with Trump’s.

Sanders, without question. The internet allows us to research candidates thoroughly and their records very often speak for themselves. There are only a couple candidates with integrity in the race and O'Rourke isn't one of them.

🤢

PeteButtigieg!!!!!!
